CASE FOR EXHIBITING PACKAGES OF CIGARS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 419,028, dated January7, 1890.

7 Application filed September 26, 1889. Serial No. 325,121. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, BERNHARD BARON, a citizen of the United States,residing at Baltimore, in the State of Maryland, have invented new anduseful Improvements in Cases for Exhibiting Packages of Cigars and otherArticles, of which the following; is a specification.

This invention relates to a case which is intended for exhibitingpackages of cigars and other articles. The peculiar and novelconstruction of my case is pointed out in the following specificationand claim and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure1 represents a longitudinal vertical section of the ease in the plane a:at, Fig. 2, with the cover in position. Fig. 2 is a plan or top Viewwhen the cover is removed. Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical section inthe plane y y, Fig. 2, with the cover in position. Fig. f is a sideelevation of the case when the cover is removed. Fig. 5 is an end viewof the same.

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

111 the drawings, the letter A designates a platform, which is providedwith end flanges B B and with side flanges C O, the height of which isequal to about one-third of the height of the packages to be exhibited,while the length of the end flanges is equal to the width of saidpackages, and the length of the side flanges is equal to twice the depthand to the width or a multiple of the width of the packages, as will bereadily seen by referring to Fig. 1, in which the lines 5 6 indicate theheight and the lines 4 5 the depth of the packages, while in Fig. 2 thelines a 5 indicate the depth and the lines 3 4 the width of thepackages. From the platform A rises a partition D, the ends of which areat a distance from the end flanges B 13 equal to the depth at 5 of thepackages to be exhibited, while its sides are at the same distances fromthe side flanges C G, and the length of said partition is equal to thewidth 3 a of the packages, or to a multiple thereof. In the exampleshown in the drawings thc'length of the partition D is three times aslarge as the width 3 at of the packages.

E is a cover which fits the flanges of the platform A.

Then a series of packages have been placed between the end flanges B Band the side flanges C 0, each package is retained in an uprightposition, and those portions of the packages which extend above theflanges B B C O are fully exposed to view.

\Vhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A case for exhibiting packages of cigars and other articles, composed ofa rectangular platform, two end flanges which rise from the platform toa distance equal to about one third of the height of the packages to beexhibited and equal in length to the width of said packages, two sideflanges equal in height to the end flanges and equal in length to twicethe depth and to the width or a multiple of the width of said packages,and a partition which rises from the platform and the ends of which areat a distance from the end flanges equal to the depth of the packages,while the sides of said partition are at the same distance from the sideflanges, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of twosubscribing witnesses.

BERNIIARD BARON.
